An American family caused a panic at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport Thursday when they showed up with an unexploded artillery shell they found while in the Golan Heights, in the country's north.

Videos circulating online showed frightened passengers inside the airport running for safety and screaming. Authorities sounded an alert and at least one person was injured trying to run on a conveyer belt.

Other videos show passengers on the floor in an attempt to secure cover. The shell was removed and the family was released after being questioned. There was no explosion. The family said they found the shell in the Golan Heights and intended to bring it back as a souvenir.

Authorities are still investigating the incident.

What kind of fvcking idiot brings ordinance into an airport, live or not? Their end of the gene pool needs some more chlorine applied.

Reminds me of a story from my all expenses paid camping trip in the devil's sandbox. I almost shot a little kid in Iraq when he walked up to our HMMV in Iraq with a fired but unexploded RPG round. The little shit walked right up along the back of the HMMV and was right outside my window trying to pass it in. In the end, after I put my pistol away, he was just trying to bring it to us to dispose of it. It almost had a terminal ending for him. The PFC up in the turret lost a fairish chunk of ass for letting him get that close to us because he was checking out the action in the bazaar instead of doing his job of, you know, observing people around the vehicle.
